REST is the new SOAP? ✉

REST API Notes for 2018/02/14

Feb 14, 2018

REST can be difficult. I get it. But throwing one's hands up in the air, and coining a thinkpiece of all the ways an architectural approach has personally wronged your sensibilitites is... tiresome. In this edition of the RESTful API notes, Mark Little and Phil Sturgeon deconstruct the straw men. There's also a nice preso on "Surviving microservices". For bonus points, there's a theoretical model for determining the cost of API versioniong.

This is the website for Matthew Reinbold, the Director for Capital One's Platform Services Center of Excellence. I also write the 'Net API Notes' email newsletter and curate NetAPI.events. Much of what appears here dated prior to 2017 was previously published at VoxPop.co and VoxPopDesign.com. There's also a bit of legacy detritus from older experiments like mutednoise.com, miltiantgeek.com, codeaway.org, etc. Adult fan of Lego. And trying to make Dakota Gothic a thing.
